Update Available - Version 8.0.149

Post by jsachs »

An update is available to Version 8.0.149 (17-Sep-2020)

The changes (taken from the update log) are:

Rearranged Theme dialog box to make it smaller.

Levels and Color: added Full Dynamic Range and Auto White Balance buttons as well as some new items to the Settings menu. It turns out that there was a bug in Levels and Color in that color balance was being applied before dynamic range changes but the locations of the tic marks were based on the original image and not the color balanced version. This has been fixed, but existing scripts may not work quite the same as before if the color balance color is not white. The new items in the Settings menu control what happens when you apply the transformation to a new image or when the transformation starts up. This makes it more useful in batch operations when you want to auto white balance and/or expand dynamic range for a sequence of different images.

A similar fix was also made to the Levels and Color Tool, so changing its color balance now adjusts the dynamic range tic marks.

Mask: fixed long-standing problem with crashing when doing a long sequence of operations with the Spline and some other mask tools caused by a resource leak.
